"Wow, it felt like Gold Roger executing ground." Looking at the crowd, Jack couldn't help but exclaim.

He didn't look like someone getting executed but an actor playing a role in a film. Jack isn't afraid of getting killed with his ability escaping was not difficult at all, besides if the plot change and Lelouch didn't come to rescue him, he would choose another path to locate the World of C. But doing that was no fun at all, so Jack decided to watch at the side as he approached his goal. Going to this kind of world is the dream of many, so Jack didn't want to waste his time and enjoy his journey while getting stronger.

"The sound of the people, the cry of rage is rising. Its a voice which shows how much His Highness was loved." The commentator loudly said making Jack's ears twitch. 'I am not the killer though.'

"A voice of justice which judge the terrorist."

"Margrave Jerimiah, who aided in the investigation, is taking charge as the Deputy Governor-General."

Jack's ears twitch, as he heard something on Jerimiah communicator, pricking his ears to listen. "Deputy Governor-General Jerimiah."

"What is it?" Jerimiah asked.

"A vehicle is approaching along the 3rd street and is headed this way. As ordered, we didn't do any security checks, but..."

"Do you think that it's something of the terrorist?" Jerimiah asked calmly.

"Well, it's His Highness Clovis's Personal Vehicle."

"His Highness's!?" Jerimiah was startled, at first, but recovered his calm afterward.

"What an absurd person." A laugh escapes his mouth.

"I don't mind let it pass through." Then turn his head to the back.

"Halt!"

Jack hearing the whole conversation smiled, knowing that Lelouch was not able to resist his Geass and didn't realize that Suzaku in his eyes is Jack. In the first place, he didn't doubt his Geass will fail due to his Psychic Force that can easily penetrate their Soul and using his Divines Sense with Geass can influence their consciousness making him nearly invincible against ordinary people. Although it expanded a lot of his Psychic Force, Jack could still afford the amount it used, but he couldn't continuously abuse it as that will exhaust and force his Soul to enter it's dormant state again.

This Geass is also similar to Book of End of Shukuro Tsukushima, the ability to inject his presence into the victim history. Victim of this power recognizes him as intimately connected to their personal lives, whether it is as family, friend, or lover. Jack can even usurp the roles of other individuals in the victim's histories, like what he did to Lelouch memories of Suzaku.

"Th-This is the personal vehicle used by the deceased Prince Clovis." A citizen shouted seeing the mobile vehicle moving toward them.

Jack look at it with a grin as he taps the metal collar on his neck with his finger breaking it without anyone noticing. 'Treating me like a dog, hump!'

"Come out, you insolent fools who defile his Highness's Vehicle!"

Then a fire broke out in the banner of the vehicle unveiling a man wearing a tight dark purple suit with golden stripes, long wrapped sleeves, and frilled white cravat, the outfit combines Victorian fashion with that sleek bodysuit worn over it is a black and gold cloak with crimson spandex lining the inside and a black cape. On his face, a Spiky Black and Indigo mask with a variation of the Geass Sigil stretched over its bottom, completely hiding the wearer's face.

'Wow, that's cool, should I also wear some costume?' Jack thought, then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. 'Damn, I am not a villain or superhero why do I wear something that will embarrass myself.'

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Jack look at the citizen and Jerimiah startled reaction with a laugh. 'Their expression is priceless, isn't it?'

Then a voice came from the masked man attracted all of them as their eyes are now fully concentrated on him. "I am zero."

"Zero!?"

"W-Who is this person!"

"He calls himself Zero and is standing in front of the wagon!"

"Who is this person named Zero?" The crowd was startled, a man with blond hair on the media room look at Lelouch. "Zero? As in nothing?"

'Suzaku, I will repay my debt to you.' Lelouch thought, then Jack seeing the serious atmosphere open his mouth.

"Hello, I'm Jack nice to meet you." A black line appeared on the soldiers and Jerimiah forehead as they look at Jack with a thought. 'What the hell.'

The soldier beside Jack hit his face with the gun making him fall to the ground. Jack look at the soldier with murderous intent. 'Heh, I realize that acting like a pig eating a tiger is not suitable for me.'

'Hell. I can't take it anymore, who the hell damn care about the plot! With my power, this plot thing is nothing at all.' Jack shouted on his mind, as he thought that just watching on the side is not interesting at all!

'From now on, I will act as I am without any restriction, dammit.'

Lelouch looks at Jack with a startled expression. 'What are you doing Suzaku!'

Ignoring Jack who made fun of himself, Jerimiah looks at Lelouch and said. "That's enough, Zero. Your show time is over."

Then a lot of Sutherland fell in the ground as they surrounded Lelouch. Recovering from his startled state, Lelouch looks at Jerimiah with a calm expression.

"Now let's start by having you remove the mask," Jerimiah said.

Moving his right toward his mask, Lelouch then raises it and did a click with his finger that resounded throughout the whole area, then the vehicle on his back broke apart revealing a capsule that made Jerimiah and Villetta who was riding a KnightMare look at it with shock.

"What?"

"Lord Jerimiah! That's..." Villetta shouted.

"Can all of you in front of the TV screen see it?"

"It appears to be a machine of some sort, but its purpose is unknown. We'll stand by to hear the declaration of the man thought to be terrorist, so please wait!"

Jerimiah looks at the capsule as he sweated profusely. "He...took every Britannia civilian here as a hostage! Not only that, but he did it without letting them realize they were hostages!"

Then Jerimiah aims his gun toward Lelouch with trembling hand. "Want to try to shoot?"

"You should know what will happen." A cold smile appeared on his face.

Jerimiah started to hesitate. "All right, your terms?"

"An exchange, this thing for Kururugi Suzaku."

"Ridiculous!"

"This man is charged with high treason for killing His Highness Clovis. There's no way I can hand him over." Jerimiah shouted.

"Heh, you only frame without proper investigation," Jack said silently.

Jerimiah and the other didn't hear Jack complain as they are busy confronting Lelouch, so why would they divert their attention to an Eleven who was about to be executed anyway. "No, You're wrong, Jerimiah."

"He isn't the culprit."

"The one who killed Clovis... is me!"

The crowd looks at him with disbelieve. "No way."

"Are you serious?"

Lelouch looks at the crowd with a calm expression as he continued. "For the life of Eleven, you can save many Britannian lives, I don't think, that a bad deal."

"You're crazy!" Jerimiah shouted.

"You should pay for your sin of masquerading around in His Highness Vehicle!"

"Are you sure? I'll announce orange."

"What orange?" The soldier is bewildered as they asked each other.

"Pft, Orange." Jack laugh loudly making the soldier hit him to the ground again. 'Damn you had enough!'

"Who knows?"

Tapping the sole of his shoe, the vehicle advance toward Jerimiah Knightmare. "It'll publicly announce if I die if you don't want that to happen..."

"What are you talking about?" Jerimiah asked in confusion.

"With all your might, let us pass do the same for him!" Lelouch's eyes turned to Geass as he ordered Jerimiah with absolute command.

Jerimiah eyes turned blank as he ordered the soldiers to bring Jack toward Lelouch.

"Lord Jerimiah, what did you just..." Villetta shouted with a shock expression.

"Hand him over!"

"Is it okay?" The soldier asked each other, unsure of what to do.

"But..."

"Hand him over! No one is to interfere with this!"

Then an officer on Knightmare Frame look at Jerimiah and said. "What are you planning to do!"

"Lord Kewell, this is an order!"

The crowd expressed their displeasure as they said. "Are you serious."

"That man is a murderer what are you doing?"

Jack calmly walk to Lelouch as a grin appeared on his face. "First meeting, Lelouch."

"What are you... Who are you!" Lelouch shouted as he saw Jack's eyes turned to Geass then remembered that Suzaku face is unlike this handsome youth. Although he was shocked that this man knows who he is, the thing that made him disturbed was his both eyes.

"Ehe, don't talk too much save me first, I'll tell you later."

"Zero, it's time." Kallen didn't hear the conversation between them as she reminds Lelouch.

Lelouch gritted his teeth, knowing that he was not the only one who has the power of Geass. "Well then, we'll speak later."

With a click, the capsule releases a purple cloud spreading to the crowd direction making them panic as they ran with a horrified expression.
